Embodiment Construction

[0146] The inventors have recognized that there is a problem with the conventional design of devices for seating tubeless tires. That is, these conventional designs are characterized by tanks that are too large or heavy (due to being too heavily reinforced) to be easily portable and also unable to obtain a burst of air sufficient to mount a tubeless tire on the rim of a wheel. Furthermore, the inventors have realized that with conventional canister designs it is difficult to hold the nozzle far enough away from the user to prevent dust and debris from being blown back into the user's face when a burst of air seats the tire. The inventors have recognized the benefit of being able to use a smaller, more portable canister configured to hold the nozzle safely away from the user's face. The present invention changes the design of conventional tire seating tools to provide a higher velocity burst of gas and a greater volume of gas into the tire for a given canister size, with the no...

Abstract

The application relates to a tubeless tire seating device. Various embodiments of a tool for seating a tubeless tire on a rim using pressurized gas may include combinations of a cylindrical pressure vessel with a grip extending radially from the tank, a pneumatically controlled, rapid opening gas valve, and a nozzle utilizing the Venturi effect. A tire is seated on a rim by positioning the tool so that the air from the nozzle rapidly blows into the tire between the bead of the tire and the rim upon the valve being opened.

Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application of the application dated April 07, 2011, the application number is 201180027351.6, and the title of the invention is "tubeless tire seating device". technical field [0002] The subject of the invention relates to tools. More precisely, the subject of the invention concerns a tool for seating a tubeless tire on a rim. Background technique [0003] Many tires for cars, trucks, and other equipment are designed to fit on wheels or rims without the use of inner tubes. The tire may be airtight, having a bead around the inner edge of the tire designed to press against the lip of the rim to create an airtight seal so that the tire and The combination of rims is capable of holding pressurized air or other gas. The rim may include a valve stem that may be used to inflate the tire. [0004] After the tire is first mounted on the rim, the bead of the tire may not be pressed tightly against the lip of the rim so that an airtight cav...
